I was in Bosnia when BB King came to entertain the troops. I was the Officer in Charge of his PSD (personal security detail). He came to Eagle Base and gave an almost 4 hour show. He cmae out, just put it all out on the stage for an hour and a half, then had to take a break and lay down on the floor on an Army sleeping mat to stretch his back and rest. He got up and went to the stage and just beat hell out of that guitar until I thought it would break or melt, and performed for almost 2 hours. The man said repeatedly, he admired, and loved, the US Army soldiers for what they did. His band was more tired than he was when it was over!!! The man was an American Treasure folks! For this old dog face soldier, and a jazz trumpet player, I love the man. Hell of an American folks! A total pro. A total musician, and Patriot. And to shred this Ray Price classic, for a boy from Texas? Amazingly wonderful, thoughtful. He added it in the second half of the show at my request. What a human.

James is actually my uncle(gruncle really), he's nice, really nice, just a happy old man, he's really bummed he can't go out and play with the rest of the band, he practices really hard for hours a day, I would actually be in foster care if him and his wife didn't take me in!

Agreed, so let me suggest the nicks concert for you. Just type "BB King nicks" at search engine here in youtube. You'll love the Sax on "Never make your move too soon" and also the bass on "Better not look down".
I See this on RU-vid and it is so impressive. the talking trumpet is wonderful magic. But I remember the concert in Tempodrom in Berlin in the 90ties when BB King blew my mind and off my feet. Seeing BB King live changed my life
Was listening to a Terry Gross interview with Willie Nelson in which he talked about writing three pretty good songs in one week when he was working as a DJ in LA, Night Life, Funny How Time Slips Away, and. Crazy. Not a bad weeks work. And BB took it to amazing places. I miss him
I will never hear another Blues guitarist like this man.I met him back stage in Hamilton NZ.He sighned my one dollar bill.Kia pai Rawa tou haerere ana ki to Tipuna He Rangatira.Mauri Ora Kotou.
33 justin bieber fans detected.... This is real music.... I'm 17 and I love blues and soul.... RIP all of the blues and soul legends who has passed away....
Richard B. Davis oh, he could - in his radio days as the PepTiCon King he had to as there were no other musicians in the studio - but he didnt have the feel for rhythm guitar that others had and chose not to let it interfere with his soloing. If you study his chord technique you'll find it's much like his leads - if it sounded good to him he played it, and rhythm guitar is more structured.
As child my relatives would play BB Kings music every weekend / I remember hearing him working his radio show on station { WDIA } in Memphis,Tennessee...❤
BB KING YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY IDOL SINCE I,WERE A LITTLE BOY I STARTED PLAYING THE GUITAR CAUSE ILOVED HOW YOU MASTERED LOUCILLE...REST IN PEACE,BB KING KING OF THE BLUES,BB REST IN PEACE..MJ
Always loved that bitter sweet song and had it on the repertoire with my blues band. BB King is a true story teller both on guitar and with his voice. He is the best!
Just...Wow. i did a mid-size club stage security gig for him one night in the mid 80's and drank beers with the man and his band afterwards. One of the highlights of my life. He was a total yeoman all class, who liked Heineken and had the biggest softest hands i ever saw.
There exist, for certain, seven persons in this world that I do not want to be friends with as they are emotionally dead, I speak of the 7 negatives above.
I don't know why, but everyone who is listening bb I love u all (seriously). I know that bb have his own, special audition... And anyone can explain why is bb is like this? I dont mean his guitar techniques. I'm interested in, how he can look into my soul and understand what I need, what I hate or what will be likable for me... (sorry for my english) ❤️ ❤️
